Black Diamond Carbon Fiber Ski Poles description Black Diamond Carbon Fiber FlickLock Ski Poles are the strongest and lightest poles in the BD line. Frankly, they kick ass! A carbon fiber lower shaft and aluminum upper are secured together by BD's patented FlickLock, a device that opens and closes with the flick or your thumb. The user-friendly FlickLock makes these some of the easiest poles to adjust which you'll appreciate in the backcountry. Another nifty feature is dual-density grips with a slight corrective angle to maximize your control on steep descents. The carbon fiber-aluminum combo produces a light and balanced swing weight like none other. |
Great Toy!
Mark Greenwood: 
I have gone through two pairs of the aluminum flicklock poles and the carbon fiber poles have taken a greater beating than both pairs combined. If you are skiing on some east coast ice field then buy some crappy fixed length poles and use these for backcountry. If you land on Any ski pole with the edge of your ski then it will break.
Best Pole Ever
bcbob:
These are easily the best backcountry pole ever, so much in fact I use 'em on the resort also. Awesome swing weight and easy to adjust - make sure the set screw is adjusted tightly. The Andrew McLean designed 3/4 baskets rule too.
Considering what else is on the market.
MountainMan Cowboy: 
I think these poles are the best on the market considering the Life-Link carbon fiber avalanche probe poles malfunction in cold weather. I know this is supposed to be a review about the Black Diamond poles, but I think the fact that Life-Link did not recall their poles which were designed so poorly that they malfunction in the field, or worse yet, simply sleeping overnight in your truck to go skiing the next day. Well what good is a pair of avalanche probe poles in the backcountry if they are going to self destruct all by themselves. Unacceptable. So I would highly recommend just buying the Black Diamond poles which seem to work so far. However, I would like to see a little more competition so that 'we' the customers have more of a selection on quality because I really cannot compare these poles to another brand with all considering. Don't slack off Black Diamond! I am noticing some obvious improvements that could be made.
